In the citing paper
“However, even in the absence of fibrinogen, the biofilm of some strains is dependent on increased ClfB activity in the absence of calcium. ClfB accumulates on the bacterial surface and mediates biofilm formation [58].”

“The MSCRAMM ClfB is known to bind fibrinogen, but this function is distinct from its ability to mediate cell aggregation which appears to be calcium dependent (Abraham and Jefferson 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
